Chapter 1208: Brother Jiu Is Here

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as Zhou Jin successfully met up with the little munchkins and searched for the exit of the Earth Demon Palace, Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao also came to this world.

At first, Yan Jiuchao heard the rumbling sound of a stone door outside the cave and felt that something important was about to close. Actually, he did not know what that meant, but he had an ominous feeling in his heart, as if he would regret it if he could not make it in time.

Therefore, he pulled Yu Wan into the cave.

The stone door was about to close. He couldn’t care less and entered with Yu Wan. In the end, they arrived at a very strange cave.

There was a stone platform in the cave. On the platform were shackles and chains made of black iron scattered messily. Those chains were already covered in dust, but the inside of the shackles had been rubbed until they shone. From this, it could be inferred that a person had once been imprisoned here for a long time.

There were trembling Gu worms scattered on the ground. The little Gu worm recognized their aura. They were the Gu worms that the three little eggs carried.

There were two possibilities. The three little eggs had brought Xiaosi here, or someone had snatched their Gu worm and thrown it here.

Yan Jiuchao was more inclined to the first possibility.

However, what exactly happened here? Why did they throw away the Gu worm?

Of course, the three little eggs did not bring Gu worms for fun. This was a habit Ah Wei had developed for them. If they disappeared, their family could follow the aura of the Gu worm to find them, so they would never take the initiative to throw away the Gu worm.

Yan Jiuchao guessed countless possibilities, but he never expected that the Sacred Luan would scare the Gu worms away. The Sacred Luan did not know that it had scared the cute Gu worms away. Birds were the natural enemies of insects, let alone a mutated beast with the bloodline of a phoenix.

Then, the two of them discovered the mural on the wall and the big hole in it. The two of them crawled into the hole and walked until they arrived at a mountain range. Surprisingly, they entered the cave at noon. Less than an hour had passed since they entered the cave, but the sky here… was dark!

At first, the two of them thought that it was an eclipse, but after waiting for a

long time, the eclipse did not disperse. There were even stars in the sky above their heads. Now, the two of them were sure that it was really nighttime.

Although Yu Wan knew the time zones in the world, it would take at least an hour for her to cross so many time zones on foot from noon to night.

The two of them considered the possibility of a smokescreen. Back then, on the deserted island, they had been hit by a black sorcerer’s smokescreen. However, be it a smokescreen or sorcery, they were all only useful to humans. The little Gu was not affected.

“Is it at night?” Yu Wan asked the little Gu.

Little Gu nodded. The smokescreen was also eliminated. So it was really dark here! Yan Jiuchao held Yu Wan’s hand tightly. This place was too strange. He could not let her get lost.

“Can you feel Dabao and the others’ auras?” Yu Wan asked Little Gu.

Little Gu shook its head. Actually, even without the Gu worm, Little Gu had marked them, which was equivalent to leaving its aura on them. Logically speaking, it was not difficult to track them. However, after entering this godforsaken place, Little Gu could no longer sense their aura.

This was not strange. The Sacred Luan was bringing them into the sky. Little Gu was on the ground, so of course it could not feel it.

“What a thick black fog.” Yu Wan looked up and saw black clouds rolling in the sky. The black fog was majestic and instantly covered the starry sky above.

“There’s something wrong with this black fog.” Yan Jiuchao frowned slightly. He felt the longevity technique in his body circulate spontaneously, causing the black fog near him to disappear. It was as if… it had been purified.

Although he did not understand what effect this black fog would have on humans, the Longevity Technique would not harm him. He planned to also purify the black fog beside Yu Wan when he saw Little Gu suddenly jump out and stand on Yu Wan’s shoulder. It stretched out its little claws and grabbed a ball of black fog to stuff into its mouth.

The first bite was just out of curiosity. After tasting it, Little Gu paused. Then, Little Gu seemed to be very satisfied with this taste and grabbed another ball to eat.

Yu Wan also noticed the gluttonous Little Gu. This was the first time Little Gu showed interest in food after the Thousand Gu Queen.

Could this thing really be eaten? Yu Wan also reached out to grab it, but she missed. A fog was a fog. How could she grab it? However, the way Little Gu ate heartily did not look like it was pretending. So, the black fog that she could see but not touch had become food for Little Gu?

Yu Wan looked at Yan Jiuchao in confusion. ‘What’s going on?”

Yan Jiuchao paused and said, “This black fog should be an energy. The

Longevity Technique doesn’t like it, but it’s very nourishing to the Gu

Emperor. ”

Little Gu ate all the black fog around Yu Wan after a while. Moreover, as long as the black fog approached, it would be eaten by Little Gu. In this way, Yan Jiuchao did not have to do anything. The two of them did not know where the children had gone, so they could only walk forward with their intuition. After taking a few steps, Yu Wan felt like she had stepped on something. She picked it up and her eyes lit up. “It’s Xiaobao’s homework!”

To be precise, it was Xiaobao’s blank homework. They looked around the ground again. Not only did they find Xiaobao’s blank homework, but they also found Er’bao’s, as well as all the books, pen and paper, slingshots, wooden swords, wooden knives, spinning tops, and countless toys.

The corners of Yu Wan’s mouth twitched. Were they really going to school?

“Why aren’t there Dabao’s?” Yu Wan asked in confusion.

“Dabao emptied their school bags and used them to store other things.” A father knew his son best. Yan Jiuchao’s intuition told him that it was Dabao’s doing.

“There’s fruit peel on the ground,” Yu Wan said as she squatted down.

“They ate it,” Yan Jiuchao said.

It was obvious what his two brothers’ school bags were used to store.

Dabao’s things were not lost, which meant that Dabao’s school bag was not expropriated. Dabao was not an elder brother who bullied his younger brothers, so he would not only let his two younger brothers carry food. Then, his school bag could only have other uses. For example, it contained a few thin books, pen and paper, as well as… Yan Xiaosi.

It was good that the four siblings were still together. Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. Although she did not say it, she was most worried that the four siblings would be separated along the way.

“Mm.” Yu Wan nodded. If he said it, she would believe him.

Yan Jiuchao said, “There should be an orchard nearby. Let’s go to the garden to look. Perhaps we can find some clues.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword energy slashed over from the sky. Yan Jiuchao’s eyes turned cold. He protected Yu Wan behind him with one hand and used the power of the Longevity Technique as a blade with the other to welcome the sword energy.

With a muffled sound, the sword energy was shattered. Right on the heels of that, a puzzled voice came from not far away. “Eh? A fellow Daoist? Sorry for offending you. I’m Daoist Yuqing’s disciple, Jing Wuzhou.” As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in green flew over from the black fog.

The middle-aged man landed about six feet in front of Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan. He looked at Yan Jiuchao and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. It was difficult not to be shocked when he saw such a handsome man, let alone when the other party exuded a very powerful aura.

Yu Wan was blocked behind Yan Jiuchao, so he did not rashly walk forward to take a look. He cupped his hands politely at Yan Jiuchao. “Just now, I thought that the demons had come and attacked in a hurry. I didn’t hurt the two of you, right?”

Demons? Daoist Yuqing? Jing Wuzhou? Yan Jiuchao had never heard of these titles. He glanced at the other party indifferently. “Where are you from?”

This time, it was Jing Wuzhou that was puzzled. Didn’t he introduce himself just now? Did he not know him, or had he never heard of Daoist Yuqing? Although his name was not too famous, Daoist Yuqing was one of the seven experts of the Holy Sect. There should be no one in the world who did not know him, right?

However, in view of the fact that he had almost accidentally injured the other party just now, Jing Wuzhou felt guilty. He still forgave the two of them for their ignorance and said, “I’m from the Holy Sect. May I ask where you two cultivators are from?”

What the hell was the Holy Sect?

Yan Jiuchao had lived for twenty-five years, but he had never known of such a sect. Moreover, the other party kept calling him a cultivator. Yan Jiuchao did not remember anyone calling him that.

At this moment, Yan Jiuchao was certain that they had left the capital and even the Great Zhou to a world they had never stepped foot in..
